Hot Shots Hideaway Bar

Stewart @ hotshots was amazing! I bring my trainees regularly to Hot Shots and I usually bring in 5-15 people at a time. Hot shots is know for good service but Stewart went above and beyond! He remembered all our orders from the jump and made sure we were taken care of all night without any guilt or subterfuge. Exceptional service and all around nice guy! Total recommend!

Have been going here for a while. However, recently started charging $8.00 an hour for the pool table. When you’re already paying for drinks and then $8.00 an hour for pool seems to be a lot. The pool sticks provided all need work as well and are hard to shoot properly with due to tip or missing the bottom piece. So if you charge, it’s needed to be properly managed equipment. Also the environment has changed due to lack of clients coming in due to the price change for pool. Also you played if you won you stayed on the table. If you loose you get off the table. Now this will cause more issues between people that is not necessary. Hope this clarifies why there is an issue.

Hot Shots is an amazing place to hangout with friends! The drinks are amazing, and the staff are so kind! It’s so fun to shoot a quick round of pool or play cornhole to destress after a long day.

This is the best dive bar in Raleigh hands down. The service is awesome, the bartenders are cool as hell, and the atmosphere is awesome. It’s a pool hall meets a bunch of bikers and it’s a great time. Between Ally, Campbell, Sophie, Monte, and Jessie this place is always such a fun time!

We went there for the first time on a Thursday night. When we got there it seemed like a nice place. The staff provided service quickly and the tables were in good shape.

The problem started as it got later. As the regulars started showing up and the bartenders started over serving the customers the atmosphere went down hill. If you want to spend time with drunks who shout profanities out or drunks falling off bar stools this is the place for you. Otherwise avoid.

Now with that, if you get there early this could be a good place to shoot pool. Just don't stay past 8pm.

Absolutely the worst bar experience I’ve ever had. Don’t waste your time here. From the second I walked in, it was chaos. Customers were way past drunk, screaming and whistling louder than the music nonstop. We tried to play pool but couldn’t because multiple people were literally doing splits, falling onto the table, and rough housing all around us. I’m pretty sure the owner himself was part of the mess, which tells you everything you need to know about how this place is run.

To make it even worse, someone brought in dogs off-leash.I wouldnt mind that if they were well trained but… they were clearly not they ran wild through the bar, barking constantly every time that drunk guy whistled (which was every 30 seconds). It felt more like a circus than a bar.

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, the restrooms were disgusting dirty floors(covered in piss), broken fixtures, and smelled like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Just another reason to stay far away from this place.

Unsafe, unprofessional, and just flat-out miserable. I wouldn’t go back here if it was the last bar in town. Save yourself the headache and go anywhere else.

Monte a bartender there sucks and serves underage people which is unacceptable

Attentive bartenders and free pool. Can’t beat it.

Vegetarian options: No food sold, but they allow you to bring outside food in.

These folk let our motorcycle group come in all the time on Thursdays for bike night, and they are amazing about it! The bartenders are always friendly and happy to help, the games are fun, and they let us park our bikes up on the patio away from the cars! Great place for bikes to hang out, great place for friends to mingle, and just a great place hands down

Parking: They let our motorcycles park on the patio outside
